Answer:

it is a bit hard question but i'll try to answer it

Step-by-step explanation:

1) It has a lower freezing point (-39°C) and a high boiling point (35°C). ...

2) It is shiny liquid metal, hence can be easily seen through the glass of the thermometer tube.

3) It has a fairly large expansion for a small change in temperature.

4) It does not stick to the glass tube.

hope it helps you
